I was thinking that I should
really drive my incipient hoarding tendencies into something more constructive
for my wardrobe. Maybe instead of hundreds of rings and really, really
impractical shoes, I should start building a great collection of little black
dresses.

For someone with so many clothes,
I have very few of those. And the one I’m wearing in this photos is the most
recent addition to the madness that is my closet.

I just got it from an alternative clothing store from UK that’s technically specialized in Gothic clothing, but
has so much amazing stuff, it was hard to choose just one dress. Well, I did
get a blue hair dye too – I’m planning something epic for my hair – DIY article
coming soon.

I think this dress might just be
the perfect casual little black dress for summer. It’s 98% cotton, very airy and
has the most adorable details: slightly puffy shoulders, a true sweetheart neckline,
3/4 quarter sleeves, a bow detail at the back and a classic 50s silhouette with
a fitted waist and flared skirt. Scored!!!

The moment I got the package (it
arrived in about a week), I could hear this dress begging for a pin up look and
I like to listen when my clothes talk to me.:)))) Besides, it’s been a while
since I channeled my inner pin up, so here I am: hair scarf and bold lipstick
included.

This is the way the dress was styled on the site and I like it a lot. I have to find a petticoat and try this version as well. As you can see it would be longer for somebody that's not as tall as I am, but other than that is supper flattering for any silhouette and height. I think it would look nice for plus size girls as well - it just has that cut that looks amazing on anyone.

And then there’s the statement necklace – I
love myself some serious rhinestone action resting on my boobs. It was sent to
me by a German online store called Happiness Boutique and it’s glorious. I absolutely
love the mix of silver chains and clear rhinestones and how long it is. They
have amazing customer care, free shipping worldwide and the necklace came very
fast and nicely packaged. If you’re ordering from Europe, you won’t have to
deal with the custom and they also have a customer reward program that you can take advantage of.

This time I didn't went with the classic red lipstick - a staple for pinup makeup. Instead I chose a dark plum (it's from Dior - color 862, Hypnotic Red).

How big is your little black dresses' collection? Do you stack up on anything else?
